From Ben, Age 13 - 09/29/08 - IP#: 66.79.92.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'7", Start: 229 lb, Today: 231 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 160 lb - I discovered something today... I HATE exercising at home. It's not controlled, and is kind of inadequate. I want to join a gym..very bad. But all of the gym memberships are so expensive, and we're pretty dang poor. Anyone know how I could make like, $55 a month? As you can see, I'm too young to get a real job..and I'm not much of a guy who goes up to people and asks, "Can I mow your lawn? I need money". I was thinking of making fliers, and putting contact info on them, but yeah.. Anyways, tips are appreciated.
